Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Jaw Drop]]: Shown with Meg, Lois, and Chris after Peter got raped by a "breedin' bull" at a rodeo.
** Brian in "I Dream Of Jesus" gets a [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkIS3G64ug0 pretty exaggerated one].
* [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]]: As of Season 8, it seems they are trying to shift Peter back to this.
** For "Baby, You Knock Me Out", he temporarily goes back to being a Jerkass for nearly 2/3 of the episode.
Line 7:
* [[Jerkass]]: Most of the cast and characters.
** Some more so than others.
** [[Jerkass Ball]]: Pretty much every Family Guy character has moments as one based on Rule of Funny in later seasons. Even Lois and Brian, who by default are somewhat straight-faced and fairly empathetic characters, can become selfish, vindictive and outright sociopathic jerks if it helps with the shock value comedy.
* [[Jittercam]]: Used very noticeably each time an airplane was on a collision course in "Airport 'O7".
* [[Join the Army They Said]]: Parodied in "Saving Private Brian".
Line 20:
* [[Kill the Poor]]: In "A Picture is Worth 1,000 Bucks", Peter remarks that [[New York City]] is a lot nicer ever since Rudy Giuliani secretly had the homeless killed.
* [[Killed Off for Real]]: Francis Griffin, Mr. Weed. {{spoiler|Murial Goldman, Derek (Jillian's husband), James Woods, Bertram, and Diane Simmons}} as of Season 9. Subverted in that {{spoiler|James Woods}} [[Death Is Cheap|later came back]].
* [[Kitschy Local Commercial]]:
** Al Harrington of Wacky Waving Inflatable Flailing Arm Tube Men Emporium.
** When Peter becomes one of the New England Patriots, he does a local spot for a car dealership complete with monotone reading, eyes following cue-cards, forced football references, and crappy redundant jingle.
Line 54:
** "That's classic travelin' music."
* [[Let's Have Another Baby]]: After assisting his sister-in-law in giving birth, Peter first suggests stealing her baby, but then says this to Lois who agrees. That is, until they realize that they're too busy with Stewie to take care of another baby.
* [[Let's See You Do Better]]: In "Brian Griffin's House of Payne," at the premiere party of Brian's new sitcom, the cast of ''[[Two and A Half Men]]'' are also at the party, much to Brian's surprise. When asked why they're here, [[Charlie Sheen]] responds, "Well you're always ripping on our show, let's see yours."
* [[Limited Animation]]: Taken to extremes post-cancelation. Lampshaded like almost everything else at one point.
* [[Lint Value]]: Implied when the family is stranded in another country without money -- they go to the black market to be smuggled back into America, where there's a sign already posted that they do not except lint or bits of string as payment.
Line 69:
** An employee said they'll have it fixed. Presumably with a built-in "[[Futurama|paradox-absorbing crumple zones]]".
* [[Lolicon]]: Peter in "Extra Large Medium" [[It Makes Sense in Context|says he needs to touch something that belongs to the buried guy with a bomb strapped to his chest so he can find him (he thinks he's psychic)]], and asks if the guy's 12-year-old daughter is just a kid, or the type of 12-year-old who drinks a lot of milk and had her breasts come in early. Then again, Peter was declared mentally retarded in one episode. He still needs a psychiatrist, though. One with a [[Hyperspace Mallet|sledgehammer]].
* [[Long List]]: most famously, after the series is brought back, Peter recites a long list of [[
** A similiar gag was used again (Family Gay) with race horses named after cancelled Fox shows with the announcer telling their positions.
** Also on "Episode 420," Peter gets so high that, instead of setting up one of his flashback moments, he shows the viewers a list of celebrities he hates, including Stephen Dorff, [[Justin Timberlake]], Dane Cook, Chris O'Donnell, [[Geoffrey Chaucer]], Kathy Griffin, Andy Samberg, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Andrew McCarthy, Rita Coolidge, David Arquette, Carlos Mencia, [[Amy Winehouse]], every rapper, Ethan Hawke, Dax Sheppard, Toby Keith, Joe Francis, Princess Diana, [[Coldplay|Chris Martin]], Chris Martin again, Chris Martin's parents, Eve Plumb, Bonnie Franklin, Kate Bekinsale, Freddie Prinze Jr., Suri Cruise, The forehead guy from ''[[The Office]]'', Garry Marshal, Paul Tsongas, and Chris Martin's ancestors.
Line 92:
** Wasn't she saying "Make love to me, Ziggy Stardust!"?
** An earlier episode (the one where Joe is introduced) had Peter saying, "Me love you long time" to a prospective Asian softball player (as that's the only thing "Asian" Peter knows how to say).
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Peter the Apostle of [[The Bible]] is an [[Idiot Hero]], though nowhere near as bad.
* [[Mediation Backfire]]: Peter is upset that he can't find way to bond with Stewie, until he discovers that beating up Lois is the perfect way to do it. Crosses the Line Twice when they lock her in the trunk of a car and sink it in a lake.
* [[Medium Blending]]: Seen in "Road to Rupert" during the Stewie/Gene Kelly dancing sequence, which combines live action and animation.
Line 100:
* [[Midlife Crisis Car]]: Peter gets one in "And the Wiener Is..."
* [[Misplaced Accent]]: Santos and Pasqual are supposedly Portuguese fishermen yet speak in heavily accented ''Brazilian'' Portuguese.
* [[Mistaken for Masturbating]]: Chris was once really just using the bathroom, but his [[Holier Than Thou]] grandfather assumed he was masturbating and railed against its sinfulness, scaring poor Chris away from what he was really doing for the rest of the episode. "God's watching me do Number Two? Aw man, I'm a sinner and God's a pervert!"
** In a pre-cancellation episode, after Chris is caught peeping in the girls' locker room, Peter approaches Chris' room, and there's a rapid knocking sound, which turns out to be Chris, playing with a ball-and-paddle. Peter gives Chris his porn collection, then leaves, and the sound continues, then Peter realizes he's holding the paddle
* [[Monkeys on a Typewriter]]: Peter references them in "The King Is Dead". In a twist, the monkeys are fully intelligent and speak exactly like regular humans.
Line 110:
* [[Multi Boobage]]: Meg has 3...well, she has 3 nipples, according to the Count. Yes, that [[Sesame Street|Count]]. They dated briefly.
* [[The Multiverse]]: The season 8 premiere, aptly titled "Road to the Multiverse".
* [[Mundane Made Awesome]]: Herbert's fight with {{spoiler|Mr. Gutentag in order to save Chris and Peter.}} The fight itself is extremely awkward, but the music was epic and {{spoiler|Gutentag's death was just a fall from a porch, but the camera angle and slo-mo '''really''' invoked this trope.}}
* [[Murder by Mistake]]: {{spoiler|In the 9th season premiere, Diane's mechanism to murder James Woods accidentally kills Stephanie.}}
* [[Mushroom Samba]]: Brian consumes psychedelic mushrooms in "Seahorse Seashell Party", and ends up having a series of horrifying visions.
Line 146:
* [[No Such Thing as HR]]: The Pawtucket Brewery. The plot of one episode has Peter's boss Angela sexually harassing him; never once does Peter even consider taking it up with HR. (or even if the company ''has'' HR).
* [[Nobody Over 50 Is Gay]]: Subverted with Herbert.
* [[Non-Specifically Foreign]]: The two long-haired blond guys first introduced in a cutaway about people whose English is just off enough that you can tell they aren't native speakers, but not bad enough to reveal where they're from.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: An event Peter refers to in "Don't Make Me Over".
{{quote|'''Peter:''' ''(after seeing Meg made over, but not knowing it was her)'' Oh, my god, Lois, it was twenty years ago, I'd never even heard the word "rubber"...!
Line 198:
** Meg's bachelorette party, where Peter was the stripper.
** When Chris proposes her to Peter to date in the same episode.
* [[Pet the Dog]]: Both Stewie and Quagmire have certainly had moments where they have done this.
* [[Pie in the Face]]: Lois (twice if you count "Saggy Naggy") in "You Can't Do That On Television, Peter," and Herbert in the "It's a Wonderful Day for Pie" sequence in "Road to the Multiverse."
* [[Pineapple Surprise]]: Used in the climactic battle in "Lois Kills Stewie", though she is able to remove the belt before the explosion.
* [[A Pirate 400 Years Too Late]]: Peter goes from stealing a parrot as a pet from a veterinarian's office, to dressing as a stereotypical pirate, then hiring a pirate crew and finally going on the road and engaging a motorist in an epic swashbuckling fight, in the course of which Peter's car [[Coincidental Accidental Disguise|acquires a mast and sails]].
* [[The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything]] / [[One-Hour Work Week]]: In the earlier episodes, Lois had a job as an at-home piano teacher. References to this job gradually dropped over time, and she has since been portrayed as a housewife.
* [[Planet of Hats]]: Played straight in "Road to the Multiverse". Each universe that Stewie and Brian travel to has it's own special attribute; there's the universe where humans and dogs switch places, and then there's the universe where there's just ''one guy'' who gives compliments from far away.
* [[Playing Pictionary]]: In "Lois Kills Stewie":
{{quote|'''Peter''': Stewie, uh, how long you been all messed up and evil like this?
'''Stewie''': Oh, so now you're interested in Stewie. Last week when I made that macaroni picture of an owl, you didn't give a damn!
'''Peter''': That was an owl? }}
* [[Plot Hole]]: A big one that is attributed to Brian being the [[Author Avatar]]. Brian is an Atheist despite meeting God AND Jesus on several occasions.
* [[Police Lineup]]
* [[Poor Man's Porn]]: When Stewie finally succeeds in derailing Peter and Lois' plans to conceive a fourth child (about twenty seconds after he stops trying), Peter takes a lingerie catalogue into the bathroom.
